I think it is hard to impossible to get a PCX at 77,200 baht from dealers, as reported by buyers recently....!

9carthai is a news site. Where do they get their info ? Who knows.

Maybe those are official Honda list prices. I wonder what would happen if you complained to AP Honda if a dealer charged more than the list price.

Aren't those actually minimum prices?

 

 

I think a dealer is free to charge whatever the  traffic will bear.

 

 

Thailand, in general,  seems to lack robust price competition.

Good question, the Bigwing outlets seem at least bound by the list prices. I've never seen them charge a single baht more. Maybe AP Honda has set different rules for their small cc outlets. Or maybe they just get away with it because nobody ever complains to the right people?

Freedom !!

Thailand, in general,  seems to lack robust price competition.

*In general, Thailand price is very cheap, do to low overhead and many competing retailers.

*Areas with high overhead charge more, e.g. Phuket.

*In Pattaya nearly all the dealerships are owned by Mityon yet...

*A PCX is way more expensive in Denver.

*Motorcycle mechanics charge over $100/hr. there.

* A Washington state grown apple is more expensive in Denver than Pattaya.

==> In general, competition is robust in Thailand and prices are low.

I'm a little puzzled about your Denver comparison but it doesn't matter.

 

You did cause me to take a look however and I found this:    I don't know how many are in a box but I guess it's packed by volume.

WENATCHEE, Wash. — Washington’s apple crop, its second largest, shrunk ever so slightly in the past month, sales continue at a good pace and prices may be at or near a season bottom.

As of Jan. 1, the crop is 137.1 million, 40-pound boxes compared to 137.9 million on Dec. 1, an ordinary and negligible decline due to slightly fewer packouts than expected.

Season-to-date shipments as of Jan. 1 totaled 48.7 million boxes, according to the latest industry report, compared to 43.7 million the same time a year ago with a smaller crop and 51.9 million with the industry’s record crop two years ago.

The big percentage swing in movement is with Honeycrisp at almost 4.5 million shipped so far versus 3.8 million a year ago, said Desmond O’Rourke, a private consultant and retired Washington State University agriculture economics professor.

The all other category of mostly new, proprietary varieties were up about one third from 2.6 million to 3. 5 million, still small but rapid in growth because of good dollar returns, O’Rourke said.

USDA’s tracking of average asking prices of extra fancy grade medium size (80 to 88 per 40-pound box) in Wenatchee and Yakima remained unchanged Jan. 9 from Dec. 13. That could indicate a leveling or bottoming of prices.

However, there are 32 percent more Gala in storage nationwide as of Jan. 1 compared to a year earlier, 29 percent more Red Delicious, 21 percent more Honeycrisp and 18 percent more Cripps Pink, according to a U.S. Apple Association report. Total national holdings are at 103.2 million boxes, up 14 percent from a year ago and 11 percent from the five-year average.

All of that tends to create downward price pressure.

“Prices could go either way in the next few weeks. Demand is fairly strong and supply not too big, so I think the market is pretty balanced right now,” O’Rourke said.

Red Delicious has dropped to $15 per box and Gala at $20.52 at which both are losing growers money, he said.

“Prices will be depressed a bit but still are generating very substantial returns, particularly compared to two years ago,” O’Rourke said.

The eight main varieties are averaging a little over $19 per box and proprietary varieties at about $43, he said.

“That’s a huge gap and the incentive to plant more of newer varieties must be very strong,” he said.

The USDA Jan. 9 tracking of prices: Red Delicious, $16 to $18.90; Gala, $19 to $22.90; Golden Delicious, $21 to $24.90; Fuji, $25 to $28.90; Granny Smith, $19 to $23.90; and Honeycrisp, $55 to $62.90.

Efficient producers of Gala are probably breaking even, but about one third of growers make money under these conditions, a third break even and a third lose money, O’Rourke said.

Braeburn, Cameo and Jonagold are all struggling price-wise, he said.

 

 

 

 

And if you're  content with the level of competition in the country I say more power to ya..

 

Cheers,

 

 

And we ll know the best and most accurate measure of economics is how long does a person have to work on average in his home country to buy any particular product.

 

No doubt many members of the forum could buy more than one of the listed motos with a month's salary  while that's not likely to be very  common  for the average worker in the kingdom.

In UK the RRP (Recommended Retail Price) is actually the maximum the "official" dealers can sell a car or bike. You usually get a bit of discount on RRP as the dealer gives away a bit of his commission to make the sale, or through in some freebies which is a similar thing.

 

I haven't yet figured out what the RRP means here in Thailand yet... lol
